Newspaper Cuttings

Newspaper clipping from Leeds Intelligencer, 22nd December 1849

Notes

The farmer in question was Thomas Stockdale (1797-1889) of Ranelands. George Wellock was born at Hebden Moorside, but no sign of him or his family appear in the censuses. He was sentenced to seven years transportation to the colonies for cattle stealing, and he died in Launceston, Tasmania in 1898.
